    Free and good. It would be good to have a stereo to mono feature and to edit the timeline even while paused.

    tengo tiempo utilizando audacity al rededor de tres o cuatro años y a mi ver es una aplicación que es fácil de utilizar y a la vez te guía sobre lo que quieres hacer soy aficionado a la música y mi pasatiempo favorito es grabar es como un jovi para mi. Sin fines lucrativos ya que mis grabaciones son personales y como dije es un desestres que tengo he buscado otras aplicaciones y nada mejor que se acomode a mi que audacity .
